Relação entre sofrimento psíquico e atraso na aquisição da linguagem nos dois primeiros anos de vida / Relationship between psych distress and delay in language acquisition in the first two years of life / Relación entre sufriemento psíquico y retraso en la adquisición del lenguaje en los dos primeros años de vida

Objetivo: Analisar relação entre sofrimento psíquico e atraso na aquisição da linguagem. Método: uma amostra de 101 bebês, acompanhados dos três aos 24 meses por meio de filmagens das interações com suas mães, foram avaliados por protocolos de avaliação do psiquismo (Sinais PREAUT, roteiro IRDI e MCHAT) e pelos sinais enunciativos de aquisição da linguagem (SEAL). Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente por meio do teste de correlação de Pearson. Resultados: Observou-se maior correlação entre o roteiro IRDI, os Sinais PREAUT no primeiro semestre de vida. No segundo, terceiro e quarto semestre de vida dos bebês, o risco psíquico e o atraso na aquisição da linguagem coincidem, mas também há casos de atraso na aquisição da linguagem sem risco psíquico. Conclusão: Houve relação significativa entre presença de sofrimento psíquico e atraso na aquisição da linguagem.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between psychic distress and language acquisition delay. Method: a sample of 101 babies, followed from three to 24 months of age through videotaping of interactions with their mothers, were evaluated by psychic protocols (PREAUT signs, IRDI and MCHAT script) and by the enunciative signs of language acquisition (SEAL). Data were analyzed using the STATISTICA 9.0 software. Results: There was a greater correlation between the IRDI script and the PREAUT signs in the first semester of life. In the second, third and fourth semester of life, the psychic risk and the delay in language acquisition coincide, but there are cases of delay in the acquisition of language without psychic risk. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the presence of psychic distress and language acquisition delay.

Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre sufrimiento psíquico y retraso en la adquisición del lenguaje. Método: una muestra de 101 bebés, seguidos desde los 3 a los 24 meses de edad mediante videograbación de interacciones con sus madres, fueron evaluados mediante protocolos de riesgo psíquico (signos PREAUT, guión IRDI y MCHAT) y mediante los signos enunciativos de adquisición del lenguaje (SEAL) . Los datos se analizaron con el software STATISTICA 9.0. Resultados: Hubo una mayor correlación entre el guión IRDI y los signos PREAUT en el primer semestre de vida. En el segundo, tercer y cuarto semestre de vida, el riesgo psíquico y el retraso en la adquisición del lenguaje coinciden, pero existen casos de retraso en la adquisición del lenguaje sin riesgo psíquico. Conclusión: hubo una relación significativa entre la presencia de sufriemento psíquico y el retraso en la adquisición del lenguaje.

Midiendo el espectro de los trastornos del lenguaje a los trastornos del espectro autista: Consenso Latinoamericano Delphi Modificado / Measuring the spectrum from language disorders to autism spectrum disorders: modified Delphi Latin American Consensus

INTRODUCCIÓN: Existen diferentes posturas en cuanto a la delimitación entre los trastornos del lenguaje y de la comunicación; sobre todo al acuñar las definiciones, sus limitantes y particularmente poder medir los pronósticos y diferentes procesos a lo largo del neurodesarrollo. El presente consenso busca unir las diferentes visiones de la región latinoamericana sobre los Trastornos del Desarrollo del Lenguaje (TDL) y Trastornos del Espectro Autista (TEA), homologar taxonomías y evolución a lo largo de los primeros años de vida. MÉTODO: Se realizó un estudio Delphi Modificado para llegar a un consenso sobre la definición más adecuada y diagnóstico temprano de los TDL y TEA. RESULTADOS: Un total de 34 profesionales de 11 países de la región aceptaron la invitación para participar en el consenso e incluyó a distintos especialistas a cargo del cuidado de estos pacientes. Se realizaron dos rondas de evaluación llegando a un acuerdo y consenso en todos los ítems. CONCLUSIONES: El término "Riesgo para Trastornos de la Comunicación y del Lenguaje" es creado para referirse a los niños que no caen en ninguna categoría diagnóstica en etapas tempranas del desarrollo. Consideramos que tanto el uso de este término como el del resto de los mismos, alcanzados por consenso, permitirá coincidir en distintos puntos para la caracterización del TDL y TEA, todo ello contribuirá a evaluar de forma más específica cuáles son las intervenciones adecuadas que mejoren el pronóstico y modifiquen las trayectorias del desarrollo de esta población en nuestra región.

INTRODUCTION: There are different points of view regarding the delimitation between language and communication disorders; especially when establishing the definitions, their limitations and above all being able to measure prognoses and different processes throughout neurodevelopment. The present consensus seeks to unify the different points of view of the Latin American region on Language Development Disorders (LDD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), standardize the taxonomies and evolution throughout the first years of life. METHOD: A Modified Delphi study was carried out to reach a consensus on the most adequate definition and early diagnosis of TDL and ASD. RESULTS: A total of 34 professionals from 11 countries in the region accepted the invitation to participate in the consensus and included different specialists in charge of the care of these patients. Two rounds of evaluation were carried out, reaching an agreement and consensus on all items. CONCLUSIONS: The term "Risk for Communication and Language Disorders" is created to refer to children who do not fall into any diagnostic category in early stages of development. We consider that using this term as well as the rest of the terms reached by consensus in the present work will allow to match in different points for the characterization of TDL and ASD, this will contribute to a more specific evaluation regarding the appropriate interventions to improve prognosis and modify development trajectories of this population in our region.

The Comparison of M-B CDI-K Short Form and K-ASQ as Screening Test for Language Development

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the usefulness of the communication domain in the Korean version of Ages and Stages Questionnaire (K-ASQ), and short form of the Korean version of MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (M-B CDI-K), as screening tests for language developmental delay. METHODS: Data was collected between April 2010 and December 2013, from children who visited either the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation or the Developmental Delay Clinic, presenting with language development delay as their chief complaint. All the children took the short form of M-B CDI-K and K-ASQ as screening tests, and received diagnostic language assessments including Sequenced Language Scale for Infants (SELSI) or Preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale (PRES). RESULTS: A total of 206 children, mean age 29.7 months, were enrolled. The final diagnoses were developmental language disorder, global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, etc. The M-B CDI-K short form and the communication domain of the K-ASQ had 95.9% and 76.7% sensitivity, and 82.4% and 85.3% specificity, with regards to diagnostic language assessments. The M-B CDI-K short form showed higher negative predictive value and better accuracy than the communication domain of the K-ASQ. CONCLUSION: The screening ability of K-ASQ was not sufficient for children with language development delay, and the M-B CDI-K short form should be implemented for additional screening.
